Roots

I was brought up in the company of animists, the veneration of ancestors, fortune tellers, pastors, harlots, witches, healers and medicine women. In the Southwest and Northwest United States, my siblings and I grew up with a unique folkloric spiritual identity. I spent my early years working in the Downtown Seattle professional tarot reader trade, and over the years I have produced and sold altar artwork and spiritual materials to various clients in the occult community. These days, relishing my 30's and a lifetime of otherworldly (mis)deeds, I can be found researching and teaching the syncretic religious systems of my ancestors, the transmission of folk magic across the Americas, local enthobotony and the history of cartomancy.

The Green River is the place I do my green work. I am a witch; the kind you read about in the stories; hares, hexes and all. I am a gallery-featured artist, esoteric researcher, occult literature collector, professional altar idol sculptor, cartomancy instructor, lifelong practitioner and these are my roots.
